http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/xbox-360-to-get-keyboard-controller-attachment/

whats gamespot trying to hide by pulling the article? i mean if its bogus then they would've just left it on the site yeah? but then again think about what happened a few days ago with the leaked update video... something fishy is going on here and I like it! lol if this is real it gives me even more of a reason to buy a 360. (don't worry guys i was gonna get one anyways this just sweetens the deal)

If it's fake, it's a really nice Photoshop job. I could believe it, though.

I wish they had a little attachment that was just a microphone. I like to send voice messages sometimes, but putting on the headset gets old. If I could just plug a little mic in to the controller, record a message and unplug it. That would be cool.

If the DB update is real, if the 360 will support Messenger, then it makes a lot of sense to me that a thumb board's being released.  According to the upate, Messenger on 360 won't support voice or video yet, right?  The thought of using the virtual keyboard is grim to me and I just can't bring myself to hook a proper keyboard up, not while I'm sittin'on the couch.

If it was functional and the controller attachment wasn't really coming out, I'd buy a wireless USB keyboard, but I would never let wires tarnish my living room floor from my TV to my couch. (With my PS2 put away, I currently have zero visible wires)

why is everyone saying its fake, this has already been announced by Microsoft so nothing fake:

From Gamespot:

"While Microsoft's Xbox 360 Spring Update will integrate Windows Live
Messenger into the system's dashboard for cross-platform chatting, the
machine's text-window interface for standard control pads makes lengthy
conversations a chore.

To ease the task of typing in messages without the aid of a
full-sized keyboard, Microsoft today announced a new text input device
for the Xbox 360 controller. The attachment snaps onto the bottom of
the controller through the headset jack and features a QWERTY key
layout with 47 keys.


The keyboard attachment has not been priced or even named yet, but it
is expected to see release this summer."

I saw the article on here too - they usually don't update on the weekends. But now it's gone.

I never said I thought it was fake. I said IF it's fake, it's a good photoshop job, implying that it looks convincing and I don't think it's fake yet. Also, just because it's posted on GameSpot doesn't mean it's true, especially since this seems like the type of article that would have been posted as a Rumor Control update.

I've had a keyboard connected to my 360 for awhile to send text messages.

 
I like the qwerty because it would make MMORPG games easier to play on the 360. Not World of Warcraft but something better. With the qwerty wouldn't have to have a keyboard with me on the couch. Unplug it when keyboard functionality isn't needed.

The fact that it wasn't posted as a Rumor Control update makes me curious though. Since when does GameSpot publish any article on a weekend, let alone on a Holiday? I think it could be true and they may have accidentially betrayed their NDA. Did anyone catch the date on the article? Maybe it was intended to be posted on a different date.

too bad its not. does anyone read the news on this site? or at least before it's been taken down since gamespot probably posted it too early? Gamespot today had two stories, one detailing the Spring Update which integrates MSN messenger with Xbox Live and another unveiling the qwerty board attachment for the msn messenger on xbox live.

 

so in the end NOT FAKE

I think its just to give a visual description of what the keyboard might look like. A lot of pictures are made to give a better understanding of what it could be rather then passing them off as fake.
